  2. Retirement Fund Changes 2004-2012 Recap • 2004 Preliminary IRS 403(b) Regulation Changes • 2007 MSU RIAC Formed • 2009 IRS Final 403(b) Regulations are Effective • 2010 Began Discussions with UCFA • 2012 MSU Simplified 403(b) and 457(b) Plans • Required additional plan sponsor oversight • Discussed changes with UCFA • Two vendors from six • 27 investment choices from approximately 550 • Lower cost administrative fees for “new” investments

  3. New Developments in 2013 • Fees discussed with outside consultants Hewitt Ennis Krupp and Straightline as well as Big Ten peers • MSU negotiated lower individual administrative fees for “legacy” investments with TIAA-CREF and Fidelity (e.g., fund fees lowered from 20 bps (.2%) to 10 bps (0.1%) for one fund and lowering another fund from 30 bps to 11 bps) • Negotiated lower cost institutional share classes for legacy investments for 2012, 2013, and into the future • Report back to UCFA

  4. 2014 MSU 403(b) Plan Changes • Implement lower administrative fees for legacy investments and issue revenue credits to plan participants for 2012 and 2013 • Move some mutual funds to lower cost share classes with identical investment strategy and managers

  5. Impact of 2014 Changes 1. Revenue credits to participants’ accounts in legacy funds • $4.6M (est.) for 2012 and 2013 in 2014 • $2.4M (est.) for 2014 in 2015 Revenue credits based on balance at end of period and give $4.6M across all funds based on how much in account. Revenue credits will continue into future because of structure of annuities and some mutual funds. • Plan participants will have legacy fund investments transferred from individual share classes to lower cost institutional share classes with identical investment strategy and managers.Which results in higher returns to participants.

  6. Revenue Credit Determination New Funds(Lower Fees) No Change(No Need for Revenue Credit) Same FundsSame Fees -Revenue Credit Legacy Funds Higher Fees Same Funds New Share Class Lower Fees No revenue credit as lower fees going forward Option to move money from legacy to new investments already exists.
